In addition to serving as the senior vice president of U.S. sales at Adecco in Tampa, Florida, Andrea Sugden provides financial assistance to a number of charities, including the Humane Society of the United States. Additionally, Andrea Sugden works with the local branch of the organization, aiding it in its mission of protecting animals nationwide.

One of the Humane Society’s major campaigns is the regulation and abolition of puppy mills, which are factory-like dog-breeding operations. Breeding dogs in puppy mills are caged most of the time, and often live in squalid conditions. This not only damages the health of the adult dogs, but also leads to sickness in the puppies.

While these operations are not currently illegal, the Humane Society engages in advocacy to improve the conditions in breeding facilities and create new regulations regarding their operations. The Humane Society also campaigns for legislation to outlaw imports from foreign puppy mills, in order to discourage the practice abroad. The organization’s efforts have led to stricter legislation regarding domestic animal breeding in several states.
